Teen bodyboarder killed by shark off Australia

A great white shark.

A teen bodyboarder was killed in a shark attack Saturday off Australia's east coast -- the nation's second deadly mauling this month.

Zach Young, 19, was bodyboarding with three friends about 300 feet offshore at Riecks Point, near the northern New South Wales city of Coffs Harbour, when he was bitten on the legs, New South Wales police said in a statement.

Police said Young was sitting upright on his boogie board when the attack occurred.

"A struggle has taken place and he has managed to break free," Coffs Harbour police inspector Joanne Reid told Sky News. "It has taken a bit of time to get him to shore and he lost a fair amount of blood on the way."
